Transtherm Double Ermitage Solid Full Shelf #17038

Unlike most other cellars, Transtherm cellars are equipped for both cooling and heating, perfect for use in colder climates or regions with a wide variation in seasonal temperatures. This Double Ermitage includes rolling shelves in every slot.

When a collection has grown past a few dozen bottles and into serious Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rhône territory, the Double Ermitage is the kind of cabinet that earns its footprint. Two independent Ermitage units joined side-by-side, each with its own temperature zone running from 43 to 64°F, it lets you cellar your long-term reds on one side while keeping whites or ready-to-drink bottles at a different temperature on the other — without compromise. Made in France by Eurocave, it holds 364 bottles fully shelved and is built to the tolerances collectors actually care about: a maximum internal temperature swing of 2–3°F, compressors mechanically isolated from the cabinet body to eliminate vibration, and a thermal pump system that actively manages humidity between 55% and 80% without you having to think about it.

The integrated heating element is what separates this cabinet from most others on the market. It operates in unconditioned environments ranging from 32 to 95°F, making it a sound choice for a basement, garage conversion or second home where ambient temperatures aren't climate-controlled year-round. The aluminum interior, 4.5cm high-density foam insulation and dual digital thermostats give you real control — not just a dial and a prayer. At 37 dBA, it runs quietly enough to place in a dining room or main living space without drawing attention to itself.

Best For

• Splitting a collection between long-term cellaring and a ready-to-drink zone at different temperatures simultaneously
• Placing a serious cabinet in a basement, garage or unconditioned secondary space where temperature swings are a real concern
• Storing a mixed collection of Bordeaux and Burgundy bottles where shelf groove compatibility actually matters
• Consolidating 300+ bottles from multiple smaller coolers into a single managed environment

• Made in France by Eurocave
• Electronic temperature regulation system maintains a maximum temperature variation of 2-3F inside the wine cabinet
• Integrated lighting control operates in multiple modes
• Multiple alarms include temperature and humidity alerts
• Heating element allows Ermitage wine cabinets to operate in unconditioned locations from 32 to 95 degrees F
• Inner material has been upgraded from thermoformed polystyrene to aluminum
• New adjustable shelves can be adjusted to achieve the perfect height
• Transtherm rolling shelves have low-profile grooves designed to easily accommodate all bottle sizes
• Silent operation measured at 37 dBA
• Removable door handle made from steel and aluminum (also reversible on glass doors)
• Premium high-density expanded foam insulation insulation is 4. 5cm thick
• Thermal pump (a Transtherm exclusive) recycles condensation and maintains humidity between 55% - 80%

What These Specs Mean

• 2 x 15-Amp Dedicated Circuits: Because this is two independent cabinets joined side by side, each unit requires its own separate 15-amp circuit — sharing a single circuit or running both sides off one breaker is not supported and can trip breakers during peak cooling or heating cycles.

Does the Double Ermitage give you truly independent temperature control on each side?

A: Yes. Each of the two cabinets operates as a fully independent unit with its own compressor, digital thermostat and temperature zone. Each side maintains 43–64°F and can be set separately, so you can hold long-term cellar temperatures on one side while keeping whites or rosés at serving temperature on the other. The electronic regulation system holds interior variation to a maximum of 2–3°F.

What are the electrical requirements for this double cabinet?

A: The Double Ermitage runs on 120V / 60Hz and requires two dedicated 15-Amp circuits — one per side. This is a hard requirement you need to plan for before delivery. Single Ermitage cabinets need only one 15-Amp circuit, but this double unit cannot share a circuit between the two compressors.

Can this cabinet be placed in a garage, unconditioned basement or second home that gets cold in winter?

A: Yes, and this is one of the features that separates Transtherm from most competing brands. An integrated heating element allows the Ermitage to operate in ambient environments ranging from 32 to 95°F. The thermal pump also actively manages interior humidity between 55%–80% RH, so fluctuating seasonal conditions outside the cabinet don’t compromise storage conditions inside.

How does the rolling shelf system handle different bottle shapes like Burgundy versus Bordeaux?

A: The Transtherm rolling shelves use low-profile grooves designed to accommodate all standard bottle diameters, including the wider shoulder of Burgundy-style bottles. Each shelf holds 12 bottles and rolls out fully for easy access without disturbing adjacent bottles. Each side of the cabinet includes 14 adjustable rolling shelves plus one half shelf at the bottom, for a total configured capacity of 364 bottles across the double unit. Shelf height is adjustable to accommodate oversized formats.

How loud is this cabinet, and how does it control vibration?

A: Noise is rated at 37 dBA, which is comparable to a quiet library or a soft whisper at close range — suitable for installation in living areas, dining rooms or finished spaces where ambient noise matters. Vibration is controlled by slow, balanced compressors that are physically disassociated from the cabinet body, preventing mechanical resonance from transferring to stored bottles. This matters most for long-term aging, where repeated micro-vibrations can disturb sediment and accelerate oxidation.

What does the warranty cover and for how long?

A: The Double Ermitage carries a 1-year limited warranty covering parts and labor and a separate 5-year limited warranty on the compressor. The compressor warranty is the more meaningful figure for a cellar unit, since the compressor is the component most likely to require service after the first year of ownership.
